Projects in Eclipse for CSIDE

HFCDev

A question about projects in CSIDE.  Given that when you create a new project, i.e. "MyProject" in Eclipse, a parallel project named "MyProject_Server" is created, and given that a developer is likely to be working on multiple projects using the same CS instance, what is the process for adding additional projects when you already have MyProject_Server pointing to your CS instance? For instance, I have MyProject001 and I want to add MyProject002. Both are Oscript projects and both are on the same CS instance (because I may be limited in terms of resources), but they are two separate product modules for two different clients.  When I go to add MyProject002, would it (or should it) use the MyProject001_Server or is it OK that it creates a MyProject002_Server that points to the same CS instance?

You want to simply create the new OScript Projects specifying the same OTHome folder.  Doing so will re-use the existing _server project.

In general, if you want to use a *different* CS instance, you probably want to create a separate workspace.  We use the same RMI port to communicate with Content Server, so, even though you can create as many projects in your workspace as resources allow, only one can be running at a time.  So it's just generally easier and less confusing to create new workspaces for them.
